Sabina Altynbekova, 17 years old, has been criticized to be far too beautiful to play volleyball. Critics believe that her innate beauty has become somewhat of a distraction to the sport. Although Sabina Altynbekova is a very good volleyball player, she is presently getting a lot of fire from critics left and right because of her beauty.
Even the team's coach, Nurlan Sadikov, agrees that his under-19 team has now become a bit of a one-player status, at least as far as the fans are concerned. He told Tengrin News, "It is impossible to work like this. The crowd behaves like there is only one player at the championship." Sadikov has also mentioned that his team has now become "hampered" because of Sabina Altynbekova. His statement has been translated by Daily Mail.
Sabina Altynbekova first became popular on the Internet during a recent tournament that was played in Taiwan. Because of the exposure she got in this particular tournament, she became an online sensation. Fans all over Asia, and even around the world, have logged on to the Internet just in order to see precisely how beautiful Sabina Altynbekova is. Needless to say, they were left smitten by her good looks.
YouTube video clips of Sabina Altynbekova warming up before a game, giving her teammates high fives, and even just standing around, have received hundreds of thousands of views. In fact, Straits-Times has reported that Taiwanese fans were holding Kazakhstan flags, making it a point to arrive earlier just to get a glimpse of the beautiful Sabina Altynbekova. They may be waving Kazakhstan flags, but they are not cheering for the team, but for Sabina Altynbekova only.
Today, there are numerous Facebook pages that claim to be personally associated with Sabina Altynbekova. There is even a Twitter account that has over 22,000 followers. However, Sabina Altynbekova only has an official online presence via her Instagram account and a personal page on VK, which is a social networking site that is popular in Russia and Europe.
